How is the U.S. media reporting on the Muan plane accident?

[Reporter]
CNN and the New York Times are reporting major news such as plane crashes, casualties, and estimated causes through top news online.

While reporting on the death toll officially announced by the Korean government, he predicted that the specific cause of the accident will come out only when the black box is secured after the accident is settled.

The AP and Reuters said it was the worst Korean airline has experienced since a 1997 Korean Air crash in Guam killed more than 200 people.

Major U.S. media, including CNN, reported the accident as an emergency news, showed interest in the fact that the plane was a Boeing 737 family.

U.S. aircraft manufacturer Boeing expressed its condolences over the Jeju Air plane accident, foreign media reported.

Reuters said Boeing was in contact with Jeju Air, expressing condolences to the bereaved families of the victims of the accident.

In response, CNN predicted that Boeing headquarters in the U.S. could send personnel to Korea to find out the cause.

The Wall Street Journal described the Boeing 737-800 as "a predecessor to the Boeing 737 Max, the flagship of commercial aircraft."

The Washington Post and others also highlighted that South Korea's recent civil war and a series of impeachment have added to the worst airliner accidents in political turmoil.

Acting President Choi Sang-mok, who has just begun his official duties as acting president, headed to the scene of the accident, the Washington Post said, adding, "The accident occurred amid a series of political upheavals surrounding the transfer of power in South Korea."

Japanese media are also urgently reporting the Jeju Air plane accident at Muan International Airport in Jeollanam-do from the morning.

NHK said earlier today that a plane had failed to land at Muan International Airport in southwestern South Korea and was in flames.

Citing an official from the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, he added that there was no information about Japanese people on the plane.

Kyodo News and other media are citing Korean media to urgently replace the number of dead and survivors.

Regarding Jeju Air, the Yomiuri Shimbun reported that it is also operating at regional airports in Japan due to diversification of routes between Korea and Japan, and that more than 3.5 million passengers were flown on routes between Korea and Japan last year.

Nihon Keizai said the possibility of a bird collision between aircraft and birds was discussed by local fire authorities as the cause of the accident.

Thai media are also deeply interested in confirming the identities and circumstances of two Thai passengers on a Jeju Air flight from Bangkok.

In response, the Thai foreign ministry said the identities and conditions of the two passengers have yet to be confirmed, and the Thai Embassy is working with the South Korean authorities to check their conditions.

It also added that the Embassy of Thailand will closely monitor the situation and immediately inform the progress if necessary.
